Today I welcome one of my oldest friends onto the podcast to make her uncomfortable with extremely pointed questions! Join us as we discuss all things INFJ: What is the Ni intuition? What is it like being married to an ISTP? Why do INFJs make so many judgements, and where do they come from? What is it like seeing the darkness of the world at all times? What are the dangers of living in your imagination? What is the INFJ doorslam? How do INFJs find a personal identity away from the tribe? Is "The Body Keeps the Score" even that good? We discuss all this and more in this juicy episode!
I found it particularly interesting listening to how differently Bek and I perceived these questions and topics, given that we lead with each other's inferior functions.
Grab a cuppa and enjoy!

Welcome to "Dear Kristin" episode #2, in which we're diving into more of YOUR questions. Today, I answer questions from Lisandro, Pupairin, Sea and Rachel H. Topics include: changing one's personality type, communication tactics between Feelers and Thinkers, MBTI in childhood, MBTI and faith, how to use MBTI to better yourself, developing your functions and how to type yourself accurately. It's just me and my mic, so grab a coffee and let's chat! (And by "chat" I mean, "listen to me monologue while you get to say nothing!") Thanks for tuning in!

Today, I welcome my ENTJ housemate Marie to answer 36 of your instagram questions. Your only instruction in submitting your questions was to "make her uncomfortable", which... well, you'll have to have a listen to see if we did!
Some of you might remember Marie from an earlier episode, "Unpacking the ExTJ personalities with my housemates". As expected, without Sara, we were able to dive much deeper. Join us as we discuss strategies for empathy, femininity as an ENTJ, what it looks like to have blindspot Si, an ethical debate about the trolley problem, and some pretty wholesome affirmations between us as friends!

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Ben Cotterill, a psychology professor at Clemson University in South Carolina, to discuss his research using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other personality tools. Doctor Cotterill and I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of MBTI, its critics in the psychological field, the Big Five model and how one's psychological birth order might affect their personality type. It was a fascinating conversation, so grab a cuppa and get comfortable!

Today I answer a question submitted by Kennedy, who asks how he, as an INTP, can learn to type people in the wild. I go into some of the tells that I've picked up as an Se dom that reflect what cognitive functions somebody might be using.
